With each passing game they are making Bell look correct.
But then again, when you can put of 37 and not win, don't think the problem that day was the offense. But really Mahomes is having a freak run right now. (I have Ben in fantasy so I actually watched most of this game
).

Ok, does anyone else think Jalen Ramsey is a cocky S.O.B. He just gives off that vibe to me. I didn't watch the game but what happened with Gronk, only 15 yards?
Also,
Raiders. Gruden last week. Carr was the problem, now this week it's their defense. Hmmm, I wonder why.

When you carry the quarterback 3 steps after the ball is released then drive him into the ground that is roughing the passer. Not this tackle around the waist bullshit... I'm all for letting them play and get hit but lets not turn the NFL into flag football! These linebackers will miss tackles now because they don't want to get a roughing the passer call.
The ref is trying to say he picked him up and drove him into the ground. I don't think we were watching the same play....

It's very hard for me to fathom how JG is going fit into the Pats no-BS culture/locker-room. Seems like showing up late and appearing "not himself" is the type of antics that will have Belichick kick your ass out immediately....

That's a good point.
Maybe it will take a culture change like the Pats to turn JG around. Like sending your troubled teen to one of those boot camps and hope they turn out better on the other side.
Man it'd be scary to see JG at full potential...dude has insane talent.....

He was on a short leash as is. The problem with him wasn't so much attitude as it was substance abuse.
I'm surprised nobody offered more, and how quickly the browns got rid of him after giving him so many chances.
Browns got bamboozled and now half the league hates them

Just read up on it...
He tweaked his hammy, nothing serious but doctors did sit him for a week. He came in late and blamed the injury. Seems like the Browns are just done. Zero trust anymore, not that he deserves it from them but still. Just seems stupid that they stick with him through everything then this is the deciding factor

I have Gordon in fantasy - interesting to see where this goes. Maybe the change in scenery will do him good. As a person, I hope he finds some peace from his demons. He could really make an impact on the field too with Brady.

Gordon had an alcohol problem too. Dude would take swigs in the locker room during games. Didn't really matter, almost. I fell into the trap of hoarding Gordon on my fantasy team, if only to prevent others from picking him up. Never won me a game
Mitch needs time to develop. I still think he has potential.

^Thanks for the pick 6 too Prince Aka. I was down going into the 4th quarter. Mind you dude had Allen Robinson and a 10 point lead going into the game and I had Bears D, Will Dissley, and Jordan Howard. How the fuck could I lose right? Well it seemed that way until the pick 6 and Unc's garbage time TD at the end.

JG showed up to team facility high, now that he's on the cheaters he'll probably have someone peeing into a cup for him, no more suspensions for him...

I had an 8.1 point lead and he had Howard. Howard scores 8.2. 
Oh and I may have to update my outlook for the Hawks. 6-10. Maybe. Its almost like watching kids playing football in the street where everyone goes out for pass and a couple guys run straight for the QB.

That's not considered a bandwagon jumper now, does it?
